Stirring jug melamine resin

While beautiful to look at, these stirring jugs won us over with their sturdy ways of performing their duties. Shock-resistant in material, they stand stable on a somewhat impressive foot equipped with non-slip rubber. Plus, they are food-safe, easy to clean, suitable for the dishwasher, blessed with long life – and inexpensive.

Plastics from the thermoset family - unlike their thermoplastic descendants - seem to have an inherent "tendency towards shapeliness", so to speak. It has been suggested that this is due to the "weight of the earth" of the material, which can only be processed using molding techniques and with which it was able to defend itself both against the creative overconfidence of designers and against process-related impoverishment by low-cost producers. However, our thesis of the higher aesthetic aspirations of thermosetting plastics is impressively confirmed by these simple kitchen utensils. Melamine resin, developed in 1935, was a widely used plastic for kitchen utensils due to its enormous strength and food-safety properties. Our melamine products come from the company WACA in Schalksmühle, which has been processing Duroplast since 1921.

The material is not suitable for the microwave. It should not be exposed to temperatures above 70°C. It is also unsuitable for storing acidic foods. If there are visible signs of use, please replace the product.
